Naked woman gets stuck upside down and dangling from tree

Hilde Krohn Huse was filming herself for an art project in a remote wood near where she lives in Farnham, Surrey, when the knot around her ankle tightened.

After dangling upside down for 80 seconds for the shot she needed, she went to release her leg but the noose so tight she was completely stuck.

First by using her hands to pull the rope open – which completely fails.

She said: ‘When I realized I’d tightened the knot [under my bodyweight] I thought, “Oh my god Hilde, you’ve done something really stupid. Let’s try to get out of it”.

‘I went practical, saving my breath, trying to calm down. Freaking out would not have helped.’

Eventually her friend Ginte, who was staying with her from Norway, heard her cries and came to the rescue, releasing a rather embarrassed Hilde from the tree.

She had rope burns around her ankle and a year on from the accident she still has a scar on her leg.

Afterwards she watched the video and realized that her vulnerability made could prompt a strong emotional response in anyone else viewing the clip.

Hilde has now been accepted for Bloomberg New Contemporaries, a prestigious graduate art show that will tour British galleries including the Institute of Contemporary Art in London.

The footage can be seen from September 18 in Birmingham at the New Contemporaries art show.
